Thinking of my Dad today…. Looking at Wayne’s message. I know that Dad really enjoyed his time working with Wayne and that there are lots of fun memories. I laugh out loud every time I think of those water bombs we dropped. - Posted by: Laurel (Daughter ) on: Sep 04, 2021

It's 2021 ... for some reason I thought of Jack today and typed his name into Google. To my sadness (but not surprise) this page came up. So my dear friend Jack (one of my true mentors from the 70's) passed away 20 years ago. I don't know if anyone is still reading this (Laurel?) but if so please know that while we have all grown older our memories of Jack are so fresh. From the '71 Cougar to that night throwing waterbombs off the balcony (never laughed so hard) ... just so many memories. How I miss him and Ellen, two very special people. With such fondness, Wayne - Posted by: Wayne Miller (Dear friend) on: Feb 20, 2021
